Texas-based Ruiz Food Products, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,490,593 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry taquitos that may be contaminated with salmonella and listeria monocytogenes, according to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service
.

The products subject to recall bear establishment numbers “17523A or P-17523A” and “45694 or P-45694” in the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors nationwide.

The problem was discovered October 16 when Ruiz Food products received notification that the diced onions used in the production of their beef and cheese taquitos were being recalled by their supplier due to listeria monocytogenes and salmonella concerns.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
